Question

Very simple template

<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="win-edit-foot">
    {{name}}
</script>

ContainerView class:

App.WinElementEditView = Em.ContainerView.extend({
    classNames:['edit'],
    childViews:['foot'],
    foot:Em.View.extend({
        templateName:'win-edit-foot',
        name:'some name'
    })
});

It doesn’t work, {{name}} in template replaced with “” (nothing)

Answer 1

The problem comes from your template. If you want the name property of the view, you have to replace {{name}} with {{view.name}}, according to View context changes.

I suggest you to take a look at the Understanding the Ember.js view layer guide.

Here is the JSFiddle which does not work: [view {{name}}, and the JSFiddle which works with {{view.name}}.
